Exterior Staining
Deck Restoration
Private residence · Nepean, Ottawa · Completed June 2025
Project overview
Years of sun and freeze-thaw cycles had left this large wrap-around deck grey and rough underfoot, with the railings and bench tops showing the worst of it. The owners wanted the wood brought back rather than replaced. We stripped the failing finish, sanded every surface smooth, and applied a warm cedar-toned stain that evened out the boards and sealed the structure for another season cycle.

“The deck looks better than the day it was built. Smooth underfoot, even colour everywhere, and they left the yard spotless.”
